Executive Membership Scholarship for For-Purpose / Not-For-Profit Leaders (SA)

You're not just running an organisation. You're fighting for a cause.

At behind closed doors, we recognise the unique pressures of leading in the For-Purpose and Not-for-Profit sectors. The stakes are high. The work is meaningful. And often, the support can be scarce.

That’s why we’re offering one exceptional South Australian female executive a 50% funded 12-month Executive Membership, valued at over $4,000.

This is not just about professional development.
It’s about ensuring that mission-led leaders have access to the same networks, mentoring and peer support as their corporate counterparts.

You bring the purpose.
We’ll bring the connections, experience and wisdom to help you carry it further.

A 12-month behind closed doors Executive Membership, featuring:

  • 11 x 3-hour monthly peer coaching and mentoring sessions guided by highly experienced Facilitators.

  • A confidential forum to explore strategic, professional and personal challenges.

  • Access to our supportive, national network of female executives across sectors.

  • Exposure to diverse leadership insights and independent, unbiased guidance.
